We are well serviced with community centres ranging from the shared space of Gribblehurst Community Hub, to Trinity Methodist Church Hall, Rocky Nook Bowls Club, and The Auckland Irish Society.
There are three churches – all with a strong community focus; Trinity Methodist Church, Edge Kingsland, and Morningside Church of Christ.
If staying fit is your thing, there are five local exercise clubs Habitat for Fitness, Health and Sports, F45, Carbon Method Crossfit, and Quattro Fitness Collective, plus two swimming pools – one inside Health and Sports and the other at Trent Bray Swimming School.
At the heart of any vibrant community, you’ll find a school. The Fringe District has several primary, intermediate and secondary schools, with multi-cultural units and immersive classroom environments.
You’ll find some awesome green spaces here too, to enjoy with friends and family, or for some quiet solitude in the middle of the city. These include Nixon Park, School Reserve, Alsco Pocket Park and Morningside Reserve.
Interested in sustainability? There’s a local eco group, Kingsland Eco Neighbours.
